  Disney's Wilderness Lodge was the perfect place to stay on our Fall Break vacation to Disney World. It was so close to the Magic Kingdom (we enjoyed taking the boat!) and the buses were easy to use for transportation to the other parks. We stayed in a water view room which had a beautiful view of the main Copper Creek pool and Bay Lake. All of the restaurant options at this particular resort were very good! The cast members were helpful with any questions we had and the relaxing National Park vibes were just right for our family. Highly recommend this Deluxe resort!

  Beautiful property but something that was so annoying was the buses stopped every time at the campsite. After a long day with a sleepy kid stopping to let 2-3 people off felt annoying and lights turning on and off just didn't love that for what you pay to stay there it should have a separate bus system and something I wish I would have know before booking. Like other comments the food is good but limited and with the smaller quick service when everyone is rushing to the park in the mornings or coming back for later dinners you can wait 45 minutes for food. Staff is great though and it's beautiful but our whole family agreed we won't be staying here again!

  First time at disneyworld and we decided to stay at this wilderness lodge and splurge for two nights! Definitely once you walk into the lobby you will be in awe of how big and grand it is! It’s so homey and the hotel really brings you to a national park. I love the waterfall as well, its crazy to think you are in orlando. The rooms itself were not very clean though especially the floors found a few dead bugs near the balcony doors so we never opened the door. We were very lucky to have views of magic kingdom which meant at night we could see the fireworks from our room!! The boats were really convenient and made our experience getting to magic kingdom a bit more magical! The downside are the buses! Took forever to get back to the hotel as we share a bus with fort wilderness cabins and they first make a stop there when coming back. Takes like 40 minutes to other parks which sucked especially during peak hours. Also loved the chip and dale meet and greet which was so cute and there were lots of interactions. Definitely a special experience at the wilderness lodge! Love just sitting by the lake and soaking it all in!

  The main reason for not giving higher reviews for the room and service is because the rooms are small and nothing special. We had to call for someone to clean our room the second night we were there, and we were staying club level at premium pricing. After housekeeping came through the floors were not cleaned , towels not fully replenished and coffee was not replenished in the coffee station drawer. Poor housekeeping for a 4-star deluxe resort. Also no one assisted in bringing bags up to our room on arrival despite club level service. I’ve stayed club level at Grand Floridian and that resort provided first class service, something I’d expect from the Wilderness Lodge as well. Location is 4 star only because it’s not on the monorail. The boat ride was fine so no complaints there.

  Service: A stay 22 yrs ago had had this resort at the top of my list. Our stay this last weekend shattered that. Upon arrival and upon departure, there were no bell hops or valets to assist us in unloading or valeting our vehicle. I unloaded the wifes scooter, alone, 7 weeks after a bypass surgery as there was no one to assist us in any way. I was able to park my truck and return to the door with still NO ONE visible to offer an assistance. Room: In addition, I believe this is one of the most amazing resorts but the rooms were classified over 20 yrs ago and simply kept the same. Example, we upgraded to a water view room hoping to see the lake but instead, we were on the second floor looking at a grove of trees covered in spanish moss. The only water we saw was while it was raining. A fully functional room, although aged and worn somewhat but to pay an upcharge was an insult. Restaurants: We ate at all 4 on site and recommend them all. Whispering Canyon has been a favorite for years and we truly enjoyed Artiste Point for the first time. The service and food in the restaurants is second to none.
